• Next, position the playback marker at the end of the section and click the "Set out
point" button.
• The currently selected range appears highlighted in blue in the range display. You
can playback this range separately with the "Playback range" button.
• All range limits can be moved by holding down the mouse button and dragging.
Once the range matches the section that you want to import, click on the preview
monitor and drag the section onto the track. An object will appear featuring the
material you wanted to import. If you're not sure where you would like to use the
section in the project, you can drag it into the project folder instead of onto the
track.
Tip: You can also edit files that are located in the project folder in the same way. A
shortened file also contains information in the project folder about in and out points
so that you don't always need to reset these in case the video needs to be re-
imported at a later time. You can also drag each file directly from the Media Pool
into the project folder.
Regroup scenes
You will often want to move specific scenes or even groups of scenes to a different
place within a film. This happens completely intuitively: Single scenes can be selected
in any view by clicking them and moving them to the desired position (drag & drop).
You can also create scene groups which can be moved together: "Ctrl" + mouse click
lets you select more than one scene, "Shift" + mouse click lets you select all of the
scenes that lie in between.
Finally, here are three tips for more extensive arranger work:
• With the mouse modes "All tracks" or for "One track" (view page 45) doesn't just
move
the selected scene, but all objects that are located behind the object (one
track) or all tracks (all tracks).
• The commands "Group" (view page 287) and "Ungroup" (view page 287) let you
com
bine any scenes into groups which can then be moved together as a block.
